Barely Famous Podcast

Bestselling author Kennedy Ryan joins Kail on Barely Famous for an intimate and empowering conversation about writing love stories that reflect real life.

From her deeply intentional Skyland series to her immersive research process, Kennedy shares how she crafts romance novels that center marginalized voices, explore complex relationships, and challenge what happily ever after really means. She opens up about autism advocacy, motherhood, depression, and why its critical to normalize blended families, child-free women, and Black love on bookshelves and beyond.

Plus, she gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming Peacock TV adaptation, dream collaborations, and the inspiration behind Cant Get Enough. Whether youre a longtime fan or new to her books, this episode is a masterclass in storytelling, feminism, and refusing to settle for less.
